Tesla Y SR RWD vs Renault Zoe 2013 and combustion engineWe are now 11 years away from 2035. Let's look back 11 years and compare a Tesla Y with the Renault Zoe from 2013. Both once had the same price tag.I haven't looked at the price development of cars with combustion engines for many years. I've just noticed that the Dacia Lodgy has been replaced by the Dacia Jogger and the Dacia Sandero costs over €10,000. On the occasion of my last newsletter, I took a look at some prices: Audi A5, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes GLA, Renault Espace, VW Touran. I saw something about “equipment lines”. Wow, the VW Touran only has a rearview camera from the middle equipment line upwards. In the upper middle class, electric cars are already cheaper than combustion engines. Without the EU's protective tariffs against Chinese electric cars, this would very quickly also apply to the cheapest cars. We are now 11 years away from 2035. Let's look back 11 years. Back then, the Tesla S was the only viable electric car, all the others were rolling disclaimers. The BYD e6 was not available in Europe back then.
How can you compare these cars? Quite simply, they once had the same price tag. Adjusted for inflation, €42,000 is now €59,000, so the first Renault Zoe was actually significantly more expensive than the Tesla Y SR RWD. In March 2017, I was invited by the Landshut Environmental Fair as a juror for the first electric car rally. I therefore borrowed a 2013 Renault Zoe from the Kaiserhof. Dressed warmly, with ski pants, I didn't dare turn on the heating, I set off for Landshut. I was constantly comparing the remaining kilometers on the sat nav with the remaining range. The on-board computer was used to a much less economical driving style. It wasn't until just before Burghausen that I got the reassuring news: remaining range and remaining distance were the same. I finally arrived in Landshut with 45 km remaining range. The average for the outward and return journey was then 12 kWh/100 km. On Friday, I drove to an event in Altötting. This is only half the way to Landshut, but the roads and landscape are practically identical. The average for the outward and return journey was 11.6 kWh/100 km. Based on 56 kWh of usable battery capacity, this would be a range of 483 km. The WLTP range is given as 455 km. The Tesla Y is a significantly larger car than the Renault Zoe, but still consumes less fuel. All the more astonishing, because I averaged 67 km/h with the Tesla Y, but only 60 km/h with the Zoe due to range anxiety. Then there is the average consumption of 16.3 kWh for the Renault Zoe. An average speed of 33.1 km/h indicates use in Salzburg city and the surrounding area. My first 1,201 km averaged 12.7 kWh/100 km. That includes several trips up the Gaisberg. From the top down to Elsbethen, the battery is charged at 6%.
Cheaper and better batteries. Perhaps the Tesla Y will then be available either with a 70 kWh sodium battery 20% cheaper than mine or with a 500 Wh/kg battery with 200 kWh as top equipment. Prices will continue to fall and combustion engines will simply be absurdly expensive, as they are today from the upper mid-range upwards.
What many people don't know today is that the electric car has nothing whatsoever to do with the Greens and their environment. On the contrary, they were enemies of the electric car. In 1994, a Green told me “I hate the GEMINI house, because if someone can charge their electric car with the electricity from their house, then I no longer have any arguments for banning driving”. Here to Greenpeace protests against electric cars 2008 in Berlin. Here to the series of articles in 2010 “So-called environmentalists try to slow down the electric car”. An absolute must-read for all those who are against the electric car today. Shocking insights into which fools you are allied with are guaranteed.
In 2014, I described the Dacia Lodgy as an intelligence test for car buyers: half the price and significantly more economical than comparable minivans. Today, this intelligence test is the Tesla Y: the difference to equally expensive cars with combustion engines can only be described as grotesque.
Announced in the Weiz city newspaper on page 47: My lecture on September 18 from 19:00 at the Kunsthaus Weiz. I am preparing some other lectures for the fall.
Net zero emissions means reducing greenhouse gas emissions to a level that nature can absorb. For the rich, this means Maintain poverty, cause poverty, so that enough emission rights remain for the rich.
Planetary cleanup back to 350 ppm CO2 means around 47,000 TWh of electricity to filter 1 ppm CO2 from the atmosphere and recycle it into carbon and oxygen. Who can afford that? Only a rich humanity, 10 billion people in prosperity can do it.
It is a decision between 3 directions:
It's not about whether the shares will be worth 10 times or 100 times more in 20 years' time or whether they will only be worth a few cents. It's about the future of us all. Will there be a big showdown between eco-fascism and yesterday's fossils, or will it be possible to overcome the deep divisions in society and inspire supporters of both sides to work towards a great new goal? Worldwide wealth and planetary renovation instead of saving, restricting, renouncing and climate catastrophe or peak oil and a little more climate catastrophe. Both sides must be convinced that there is no solution that is even remotely viable. On the one hand, it must be shown that net-zero emissions are a completely inadequate target and that the goal must instead be a planetary clean-up back to 350 ppm CO2. The other side must be shown that solar power enables a higher standard of living than fossil energy. It's about survival! The social situation in 2024 compared to 2004. Extrapolating that to 2044 makes for a horror world! If we are successful and your shares are worth 100 times more, this is just an addition to all the other achievements. One new shareholder said "I with my very modest investment”, but €4,000 times €1,000 is also €4 million for all investments up to the opening of the settlement in Unken as a starting point for global expansion. There is a reward program for recommending the share to others. Two of the new shareholders have become shareholders through this reward program. Here are the details.
My studies on off-grid fast-charging settlements have already resulted in initial contact and a video conference with the CEO of a major African company. The most important statements: “There are about 2 million homes missing” and “Solar-powered cement factories are a fascinating new idea”. There are several chances of an event that could lead to a jump in the share price. At today's share price, € 2 million would be 10,000 packages at € 200 and 300,000 shares for the buyer. However, if these € 2 million are only worth 20% of the AG, this would logically result in a very significant jump in the share price. |
